visual disturbances

[Guest guest]

I have been reading about some of you having " visual distrubances " ,

could someone give me examples of this problem?

I have had problems in my right eye since the mastectomy/implant, I

have blurred vision, many more floaters, phantom spots and J shaped

light flashes. I got a new pair glasses just last month thinking it

was an increase in my stignatism but the eye strain is just getting

worse. Just to list some of my other aches and pains, who knows they

might be implant related. I mentioned them to the p/s but of course

he dismissed them. I have had joint pain in my elbows, there are

days when all of my teeth hurt for no apparent reason, a few times I

have smelled and tasted mysterious odors, other times I have been so

chilled I could not seem to get warm. And of course brain fog but I

blamed that on the possible start of memopause.

Is there an example contract I could use to get the p/s to guarantee

to do a " total capsulectomy " . I don't want to have him say he will

and then do what ever he wants. I will be checking around Bismarck,

ND to see if there are any qualified p/s to do the removal if my p/s

won't.

I dont know if it is the same or not, but I dont have

enough vitreous fluid in my eyeballs, and sometimes

it looks very strange, like under water......when it is

bad, I use lots of liquid tears......ointment sometimes at

night. Be careful when they are that dry, and dont

rub them.....that is, if you think that may be your problem

Hello, yes, the eye disturbances are really

strange. These eyes have lattice degeneras

and it causes severe thinning of the lining of the

eyeball. Plus, my right eye tore oct of 2003.

It healed over, I was lucky I didnt loose my

sight. I was caring for my father when he

had a couple blood clots in his leg. It was

pretty weird when it tore, mine looked like

a big dragon fly in my eye, now I call it my

angel. My eye doc said it was a biggy.

Anyway, when I have alot of fluid in my head

things will look warped. You are right, it is

very weird to see things warped. I bet your

toxins are moving.

Dad came last night, and I fixed spaghetti

for him and spinach. He told me sunday that

he was craving spaghetti, and I had already

been marinating some chicken breasts

for sundays dinner. He loves these rolls

so I fixed them as well. I put garlic and

cheddar cheese in them, and he just loves

them. I always send home food for him.

He cooks, but loves to be cooked for.

My mom was a big cook.....they took cooking

classes together when they retired. Mom

entered a contest and won for the whole

southwest region and got to go to Iowa, and

she sat by Garner on the plane.

It was her chatteau brionne i know I didnt spell

that right.......They gave her a special pearing knife

while there, and my father gave it to me, so I use it

all the time. I fix raw vege salad every day. That

is pretty kewl.........You know thinking happy thoughts

helps me thru jagged days.......thank you for getting

me going ~

Hi Patty,

Thanks for letting me know what it was like for you. Makes me feel

better knowing that things won't always be like this. I want to

start the coffee enemas up again but I'm taking ParaNix even though

I'm debating quitting it because I just realized the last ingredient

is fructose. It says it's made for yeast and parasites so part of me

thinks it should be fine but part of me worries it's causing more

yeast....can't believe I didn't notice it when I first started.

I've been drinking kefir the last few days and my vision has been

worse. I think I'll stop for a bit and take probiotics and then

restart the kefir to see if that's what's causing the eye probs.

What probiotic did you take prior to switching to kefir?

Thanks...again and again! - PH

PH, I have the same visual disturbances you are talking about but sometimes my vision is perfect - comes and go, I can't explain why.

Hi Patty,Could you describe in detail what your visual disturbances were like? Did you ever feel that one eye was stronger than the other or felt like they weren't lining up? It seems like my left eye goes out a bit sometimes. Sometimes it seems as if I'm looking through an aquarium...yet my eyes aren't watery. Other times it's just blurry vision. The good news is I've had perfect vision occasionally so I know there's potential to get it back. I noticed it particulatly after a liver flush. How often did you do the flushes? Thanks. - PH

Hi PH

I have had some visual disturbances although that that not been one of

my major concerns and doesn't happen often.

I have had times that my vision became blurry and I felt like I was

seeing almost double. Didn't last long.

It was interesting during the pre-op exam for my explant the nurse did

an eye tracking test and told me that my right eye didn't track well.

I had never been told that before.

Keep us posted.

I have had some visual problems. At first, right after explantation, I became photosensitive, had dry eyes, and could not stand any bright light. Recently, I had something very strange happen after 2 doses of Levaquin. I looked up into the bright sky, and black spider like webs appeared in my right eye, followed by flashing lights. I now have a detached vitreous. The eye doc does not relate this to Levaquin, however I wonder....

Hi Lynn,

Annoying, isn't it?! Did you take any prescription antifungals? I

read somewhere that this can be a side effect of Cipro. I think I

experienced this before surgery though...I can't remember. - PH

,

I was told the same thing only with my left eye. I wish we could

figure this out! I am just hopeful it won't be permanent. I'm sorry

you're dealing w/ seeing double as well. Have you taken any

prescription antifungals? I don't want to resort to it yet this

blurry vision thing is really getting to me. - PH

PS. Thank you so much for the message you sent about going to Italy

with my son. It brought me to tears because my goal is to be well

enough by then. Your experience over there with your own son is

inspirational...thank you for the encouragement.

I think I failed to add that my vision blurs on occasion.

Dede,

What a neat story about your mom. How wonderful that you have her

knife and can use it every day. I love sentimental things like that.

You're right about recalling good memories...it's so healing. I've

noticed as I've been detoxing a lot of negative emotions and sad

memories have been creeping up...am glad to let them go and wash them

away with the physical toxins!

Wow, Garner...I had the biggest crush on him when I was about

6. My family would watch Rockford Files together and I thought he

was so handsome! - PH

I don't know about you, Dede, but after the implant fiasco, I am not too excited about serving as another guinea pig... I will send though if I see any articles.

Ya know with my history and luck with doctors

I wont chance it unless I have a total detatchment.

I have lattice degeneras ~severe thinning of the lining

of the eyeball, so chances of me having it are suposedly

large.....per my retina specialist.  I havent been in a good

while.  I also have kornokonus of my eyeballs....while.  I a

domes on them........domes on them........<wbr>I am suposed to g

been since all my organs have been compromised (2 yrs) yikes

I better do it....

If it ever starts obstructing my vision again, I might consider

it.  If ya run across any articles on it, send them my way...I

would like to read them.....

Hi,

I'm not taking any prescription antifungals yet. I'll see what my

skin rash biopsys show maybe?

I'm on a merry-go-round with my current lung and uterine problems so

I'm going to try to deal with them first.

I really do believe you will feel well enough to go to Italy with your

son...and you will have a wonderful time. As I said, a few times we

took cabs instead of walking and a few times I told them I would sit

awhile while they continued the tour and I'd catch up to them....

It can be done. I would love to hear all about your trip when it is over.

, There are a lot of ways to handle fungal issues beside prescription antifungals . . . Diet is HUGE! So are probiotics! I'd try something like Lamisil (for jock itch) on that rash. . . It won't hurt, and might help. Hugs, Rogene
